I'm a big dick

Chapter 661
Everyone has their own ideas and plans, or ideals in life.But at the level of the emperor, as long as the dragon chair is seated firmly, you can play and enjoy with peace of mind.

But Zhu Youxiao was different. He focused on the Ming Empire and considered the historical process of hundreds of years.

Although he can't live another 500 years, his most important task is to make the Ming Empire more powerful, richer, and more in line with the historical development model.

Just like an individual or a family, from food and clothing to well-off to prosperity, each stage has a goal, and there is no time for satisfaction.

The military, economy, and even politics have improved greatly, and some aspects can even be said to be completely reborn.

But only in the field of culture and ideology, the emperor's reforms were cautious, especially when it touched the basic ideology, he was not careful.

For scholars, the most important thing is the imperial examination and official career.

Although the emperor continued to increase or decrease the content of the imperial examinations, adding geography, history, international knowledge, natural knowledge, etc., the fundamental principles of Confucius and Mencius did not change significantly.

The so-called minor change means that there is more content about Yasheng and less content about Kong Sheng.On the whole, the content of the traditional Four Books and Five Classics is less.

No one knows, this time it is true, except for the emperor himself, no one knows his true thoughts.

"It's time for Duke Yansheng to fall."

The emperor repeated this sentence countless times in his heart, just waiting for an opportunity, until the traditional thinking continued to change subtly, until it reached a critical point.

The so-called emperor of flowing water, Yan Shenggong of iron.

From the Song Dynasty to the present, regardless of the rise and fall of dynasties, thanks to the halo of the ancestor Confucius, Yan Shenggong has never fallen, which can be said: You hurt me without hurting, and you are honored and I will be honored.

Not loyal to any dynasty, but able to hold a golden rice bowl and be highly respected, such days should be over for the Confucian Mansion.

In the Song Dynasty, Yan Shenggong was the eighth rank, in the Yuan Dynasty he was the third rank, in the early Ming Dynasty he was the first rank civil servant, and later ranked first among the civil servants.

One person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven.The Confucian Mansion and Yan Shenggong can be said to have interpreted this sentence vividly.

In the eyes of feudal emperors, Yan Shenggong, as a "plaque", can call on scholars all over the world to work for him.The price of wooing is not high, it is just a "plaque", a reputation, and a privilege (title).

But for Zhu Youxiao, whether it is a normal change of the Han Dynasty or a foreign race entering the Central Plains, the Confucian Mansion and Yan Shenggong have a cooperative attitude. How is this different from traitors?

The emperor did not target Confucius, but also admired benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, but despised his descendants, and wanted to smash the golden or iron rice bowl of Confucius.

At the same time, it is also an inspiration and warning to scholars all over the world.What is a traitor, what is giving up one's life for righteousness, killing one's life to become benevolent.

Moreover, the feudal emperor hoped that scholars all over the world would be loyal to the dynasty, and highly respect Confucius and Yan Shenggong.

But in the end, the general trend of the world is still unstoppable, those who deserve to die will still die, and there are countless scholars who have become traitors.

It can be seen from this that it is not the admiration of Yan Shenggong that determines the rise and fall, but one's own virtue and ability to govern the world.

Some people would say: The responsibility of the Yanshenggong family is not to be loyal to one dynasty and one surname, but to preserve and promote Confucianism.

If you surrender to the new dynasty in order to preserve and promote Confucianism, then you are not betraying the Han nationality, so you cannot be called a traitor.

Hehe, the emperor only responded with these two words.

Can only Confucianism and Yan Shenggong preserve and promote Confucianism?They are all classics passed down from generation to generation, and there are so many great Confucian scholars, so could their knowledge be inferior to that of Yan Shenggong?

As for the one dynasty and one surname, if it is not a feudal dynasty, it is natural to be able to distinguish the boundary from the "country".

But this was in ancient times, you told me that "family world" was decayed and declining, such a new idea would never have existed!

With the rise of Mengyi, Kong Yuan, Duke of Yan Sheng, turned to Kublai Khan with great righteousness, and led his tribe to join the Yuan army, and wiped out the "rebels" of the Han people; "Shaving Head"...

During the Anti-Japanese War, Confucian Mansion and Yan Shenggong also performed some performances, which was disgusting.

Massacres, wars, tyrannical rule, Confucian Mansion and Yanshenggong pretended to be deaf and dumb, and only lived for the safety of the Confucian family. Is it necessary to continue to set a bad example?

The emperor sneered and threw aside the memorabilia that a certain minister invited to the crown prince Kong Yinzhi, the sage of Jiayan, to the side.

Although Wang Tiqian was a bit older, his eyesight and memory were not bad. Seeing the emperor's expression and movements, he knew that Long Yan was unhappy, and the official career of this minister came to an end.

Taking advantage of the time when the emperor was serving tea and water, Wang Tiqian smiled and bowed and said, "My lord, the two princesses Qiantui went to see the mirror yesterday, and they were very happy. Concubine Yu returned to the palace only after she had dragged her hard."

Distorting mirror, a deformed version of glass mirror, is commonly used in amusement parks, but it is also an early amusement park.After all, this is very untechnical.

But for children, it is a good toy full of fun.It's not surprising that I enjoy watching myself in the mirror become smaller, shorter and fatter, with big mouth and small eyes.

The Emperor laughed, for nothing pleased him more than the joy of a child.Moreover, he also remembered the sky-high price of selling several sets of distorting mirrors to Xiyi, as well as the huge profits he got.

As far as the present is concerned, it is not only the secret art of silver-plated mirrors that enables royal workshops to reap huge profits, but ordinary glass products are becoming more and more exquisite, not inferior to Venice.

The best-selling overseas is not only the European market, but also Asian countries.Li Dan's analysis is quite correct. The royal family does have money, and the issuance of war bonds does have the meaning of observing public opinion.

Although the emperor is not a miser, he has to spend money where he spends it.The restoration of the three halls was not a problem at first, but the emperor was no longer satisfied with the original appearance.

Reinforced concrete or stone buildings also have a large square; not only is it a part of the palace, but also allows people to enter to visit or participate in celebrations on specific days.

Likewise, the expansion of Valhalla will take place after the start of spring.For the heroes and martyrs who bleed and sacrifice for the country, the emperor is not stingy, and all are funded by the royal family.Well, it is also allowed to donate money from the vassals and dignitaries.

Thinking of heroes, the emperor thought of another thing, and turned to Liu Ruoyu and asked, "During Xu Hongru's rebellion, Meng Sheng's family suffered casualties. How about the court's compensation?"

Liu Ruoyu hurriedly bowed and said: "Yasheng's 66th generation grandson Meng Chengguang and his eldest son Meng Honglue recruited Xiangyong to assist the government in attacking the rebels. Meng Chengguang died, and the court added the crown prince's Shaobao and issued a pension."

The emperor pondered for a while, and said: "It's a bit thin. I will also give Meng Honglue Guanglu, the crown prince Taibao, and shade his son, and let him go to Beijing to see him."
